The Delhi BJP on Monday staged a demonstration outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence demanding an effective price cut of ₹10 each in diesel and petrol through a reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT).
Led by Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, the party issued a warning that it would stage a demonstration outside the Chief Minister’s residence every day till the VAT was reduced.
The BJP MLAs said that the Central Government had done a great job of providing relief to the public by reducing the excise duty by ₹10 for diesel and ₹5 for petrol, and now it was the turn of the State Governments to take a step forward.

The heat of the recently concluded local body elections spilled over into the first meeting of the newly elected council of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, as the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) questioned the propriety of the 20 councillors to whom the Kerala High Court had issued a notice regarding their oaths, participating in the council.
